Methods of compiling "Problem Nodes" as a toolkit for analyzing and monitoring the condition of neighborhoods (micro-districts) of the outdated housing stock

Abstract

Housing and communal services are one of the largest industries in the economic complex of Ukraine. At the same time, 61% of residential buildings in the country were built before 1970, that is, they are morally and physically outdated. This fact is a significant problem that threatens the stable functioning of our cities. It is for this reason that it is extremely important to develop methods of monitoring, strategic planning and anti-crisis management in architectural urbanism. In this article, as such a tool, the methods of compiling "Nodes of problems" are proposed, which are a component of a new paradigm - "Anti-crisis management in architectural urbanism", which is a component of such scientific and practical directions "Architectural urbanism" and "Urban management". "Node of problems" is a grapho-analytical method of outputting data obtained with the help of the "Software complex for modeling the city as a dynamic system", which is currently being developed at XNUUE named after O.M. Beketov. The new scientific direction "Anti-crisis management in architectural urbanism" is an actual response to the problem that has arisen in the field of complex reconstruction of quarters (microdistricts) of the outdated housing stock. Urban planning is the science of the city of extensive type of development. No urban planning regulations and rules indicate what to do with urban voids on the sites of abandoned factories, what to do with the problem of marginalization of "working quarters", how to implement road maps for optimizing the city's housing stock in conditions of almost complete disregard by the population of legislative requirements, and most importantly - how to achieve positive changes in the problem of housing reconstruction in conditions of limited access to resources. The essence of the method is to reflect the set of contradictions between the principles of functioning of the elements of the city system. The contradiction is the result of centrifugal and centripetal efforts arising in the processes of meeting the vital needs of the social component of the city. The city itself is considered as a collection of artifacts belonging to the social, man-made or natural subsystem. Dynamic processes of city functioning occur as a result of the interaction of these subsystems.
